Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Cllr Randal Brew who will have stepped down the week before the event and become the Deputy Lord Mayor said: “Whilst the Lady Mayoress and I are really looking forward to this event, it will also be a sad time for us as it will be our final key engagement as Cllr Chauhdry Rashid will become the new Lord Mayor on 20th May.
